Default Clutch Squeak?

Alright here is the deal, I have a 99 ex coupe with 61k miles and when I press and release the clutch it makes a squeak noise. At first I thought it was the pedal but it is not, it's something internal. Any ideas? Is my clutch going to take a **** on me soon?

Most of the time, the release fork that the slave cylinder presses in needs some lubrication. It pivots on a "ball" inside the clutch housing, and will squeak if it becomes dry. Remove the boot, and spray some WD40 on the backside of the fork. See if the noise goes away...if not, may need a clutch.

Just be careful where you spray... if it gets on the disc, the clutch will slip until the WD burns off.

Wd-40 will solve it for now but it will come back again, Honda recommends high temp grease, so I would take the time and grease it up good.

Mine does that in the morning when it's cold, but as soon as it warms up the squeak stops (movement of the pedal). I just assume it's the pedal spring or something.
Then again, my clutch has 140,000 miles on it.

Mine squeeks in the morning when it's cold as well. It has never given me any trouble though, so I don't sweat it at all.
